Installation standard
Detailed guidance and assistance with the preparation of specification and use of Masterblock products is available through the sales office. A free technical design service is also available.
Plastering/Rendering: Masterlite blocks provide a moderate to low suction background and require the joints to be raked back and a spatter dash coat applied prior to rendering. When plastering, either carlite bonding or hardwall plaster or similar should be used. Health and safety: Manual handling legislation and guidance given in construction sheet number 37, for repetitive manual handling recommends units below 20kg should be considered.
